Five Key Images From Our Animatic

These are the five key shots which I felt were most significant in our animatic. 

The first shot I have chosen is the implied sexual assault scene. Hopefully, this photograph was not graphic and purely implied the horrible circumstances that Cecilia was forced to live with. We made it black and white, to ensure that the audience would differentiate it as a flashback as opposed to present time in the film. In the real trailer, we may also blur the background slightly out of focus, so it creates a more silhouette-like appearance.

The second photograph is of the Head of the Asylum (Cecilia's father) handing her a religious necklace. The necklace is similar to rosary beads, symbolising that he believes their religion will protect her, and solve her problems.

The third image is of The Head of Asylum. This is important because he is a key antagonist in the trailer. He represents evil , his position over the desk displays that he is in power, and that he is antagonist.

The fourth photograph is of the train station flashback scene. This is integral to the whole story line as here we see Cecilia hand over her baby to her father, trusting that he will take care of him.

 The final photo is iconic of the horror genre. It portrays violence as the patient physically drags someone down the corridor, with a saw in his hand. The audience will not know how the saw is used, and the idea of the dark narrow corridor makes the scene claustrophobic. The hand opening the door is positioned so that it appears to be exposing something shocking to the audience, something that they should not be seeing.
